I just received a new Remington Vesa Max and found that barrel has a sloppy loose fit to the receiver which causes the barrel to rotate to the right about 1/32 of an inch + or - when the magazine cap it tighten. This causes the rib to be off center of the receiver.If you have a Vesa Max check your gun and see if the rib is centered with the receiver and does the barrel have a loose sloppy fit. If you have any suggestions for correcting the problem I would appreciate hearing from you. I will be sending my gun back to Remington for repair in a few days. Thanks

Again....QUALITY CONTROL.....Dont put a product out there with all these problems. They barely got it off the ground and they had a Major recall. Now call them for a cap, whats next ??? Why would anybody put good money in a gun with all these problems ? I know I'm going to get blasted on what I said.....Lets here it...

No reason to get blasted, you said it like it should be. Maybe a little blasting, you should have wrote........Let's hear it.......

Quality control in 2012.........My Maxus broke a gas spring after 1.5 years and 1000 shells. Friends Xtrema 2 did the same thing and Beretta has had his gun for 7 months. Guy I hunt with bought a Franchi I-12, jammed like crazy they gave him a new one that one jammed, they refunded his money. Several years ago another friend bought a Benelli Nova, it shot 12" high and 12" left, took it back and got a new one. Guy I hunt with his new A400 jams with 3.5" shells. Another guys SX3 jams with light loads. 2 best friends had 11-87, wow, you want to talk about pieces of junk.

I will start by saying that I would like to have a versamax to run a few rounds thru as they seem to be a good design.. But every one I have handled has a sloppy fitting barrel. IMO sloppy is if I can wiggle it around at all like the forend on the new maxus, SLOPPY. The Versamax feels to me a lot like the MP-153 and Remingtons version of it. Good ideas but poor manufacturing or possibly just poor final fitting. Even the action although it looks like a Benelli copy it feels gritty like the Russian guns always do.

I have 4 of them and have had several more and not one of them is even a tiny bit loose. Also my gold and X2's are not loose. where did you come up with this? actually in years of being a dealer I have never seen a loose Benelli forend unless the cap was not properly tightened.

Gotta Maxus in camo and the forend is fine...heard about loose ones on the early guns with wood stock. Haven't had a problem with mine no matter what load I shoot...can't be happier with the gun...so far. Have friend with VM and he hasn't had any problems with his.

That is interesting bacause all the ones at the local dealer can be easily moved all around even the sporting clays models. I was going to buy the maxus sporting but after seeing how sloppy it was I decided aginst it. I am now looking at the Silver sporting versions. I can out your hand around the barrel and forend at the receiver and squeeze slightly and they move a lot (my lot might be someone elses little) on all the ones I have handled. plus you can move them fore and aft and they feel "springy". Just not for me
